Ii was moved to recommit the bill to the
committee of the whole.
Mr.. kcnney said he was opposed to normal
schools. lie favored the establishment of
school of didactics in the university, because
lie doubted whether threefourthS OF those ed
ucated in the normal SCHOOLS afterwards fol-
lowed the profession of teaching. 1t was an
outrage on the people OF the state to establish
any more OF these institutions.
Mr.. Fox of Dawson opposed the reference
and was surprised that members who had
spoken in favor of the bill when they had
prospect OF securing school for their vcin-
ity should now oppose 1t.
Mr.. Knox of Douglas said that every county
was directing its attention toward special
schools and he wanted. normal schools in
which to train teachers.
Mr.. Fuller of Gage wanted the bill to be
either passed or rejected now and opposed
the recommtment.
Mr.. WhltmOre of Douglas said there was
no necessity OF any more discussion. Ill
quoted from the superintendent of the pres
ent normal schools to show that there was
urgent need for another school.
Mr.. Miller of Butler felt that when the bill
was up before the house the last time its
merits had not been adequately shown, and
for that reason he wanted it recommttcd so
that the same might be made apparent.

passed or defeated and he felt that the ma
jority of the members of the house wanted
the bill to be considered now. lie then asked
for the call of the house, which was done.

mittee of the whole resulting in 33 for the
affirmative and C3 for the negative. 1t was

ton was declared out of order because he had
voted on the losing side.
tive. though the prevailing side, also moved
10 reconsider.
Mr.. Pemberton, however, moved to lay the
motion on the table.
Mr.. Kenney again took the floor and stated
he didn't like the proceedings which he no.
ticed. 1t was disgrace. lie characterized
it as bulldog pertinacity and he could
practice that as well as anybody. No legisla-
lure should appropriate money unless after
full and free discussion of opinion. The bill
had failed once and still its advocates wanted
one chance more.
Mr.. Pemberton's motion to lay on the table
was lost. The motion to reconsider was
withdrawn.
During the vote upon the bill number of
members absented themselves and failed to
vote. Considerable confusion resulted and
among them one by Mr.. Dempster of Fill

fair means had been resOrted to in securing
the locations suggested in the amendment by
corrupt cOmpacts and trades, and that the
state would not be best served by them.
